About us

Via Molina

Via Molina was founded in 2018 by mill organizations in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. Via Molina wants to make mill routes throughout Europe accessible to the public.

We hope to join the Cultural route of the Council of Europe soon. See the website Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe for more information. In addition, Via Molina hopes to expand its activities further in the coming years with other mill organizations from all over Europe.

Via Molina offers mill organizations an ideas bank to exchange knowledge and materials with each other. See Press.

Mill routes

The Via Molina offers beautiful and interesting walk, cycling and car routes along wind- and water mills in various European countries. In previous centuries the mills were the most important tool of our ancestors. To preserve this legacy, you can now view or visit these ingenious mills. The routes often take you through beautiful landscapes and lead you to hidden places.

TIMS

In this project we work together with The International Molinological Society (TIMS).

TIMS is the only Society that gathers encourages research and publishes worldwide interest of all aspects of molinology, as well as the restoration of mills. They work closely with national mill societies and organizations. It also campaigns at regional and government level to encourage the preservation of important historical mills and mill-sites.

TIMS has around 500 members in over 30 countries. Members of TIMS are for example The Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.
